If you have any interest in beauty you will know about these amazing storage units.

These are Ikea's Alex Drawers.

They come in two different sizes, a nine drawer (pictured below) & a five drawer.

These first of all are just the perfect size storage for make up, skincare, body care, hair tools & everything else! The drawers come in two different depths which is very useful.

To go into more detail lets have a look inside them. So here you can see that I have found a divider that fits quite nicely (not perfectly) into the shallower drawers. This is also from Ikea, its a plastic cutlery divider. However it is longer than the drawers so I did have to cut it down.

If any of you guys have subscription boxes, you'll know how much of a shame it is to bin the boxes once you've had the goodies inside.

I'm currently subscribed to Glossybox and they have some very cute boxes so I like to keep them. However lets face it we cannot just hoard boxes!

So I wanted to tell you guys about some ways in which I have decided to reuse/ recycle my Glossybox boxes.

1. Nail Polish/ Hair Accessory storage.

So here is just a normal Glossybox I've simply thrown out the lid and placed the box into my Ikea Alex drawers.

I noticed when I just put my nail polishes in a drawer they would just fall over or get thrown around whenever I open the drawer. By storing them in a Glossybox they stay in place in the drawer. If you have more polishes than me you could use more Glossyboxes to store them.

Another thing that seems to fly everywhere or move, where ever you put them... hair clips!

You could also store you hair ties & bobby pins in the hope of not losing them (optimistic I know)!
